General Gurulev boasted of the modernization of the ancient T-62

March 12 2023 46

A report appeared on the Web from the territory of "103 Armored Repair Plant" (JSC "103 BTRZ"), which was once again visited by Lieutenant General of the Reserve, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation (member of the Defense Committee) Andrey Gurulev. This is the largest enterprise for the repair and modernization of armored vehicles in the Russian Far East, located in the village of Atamanovka in the Trans-Baikal Territory.

It should be noted that the specified plant is actively engaged in the restoration and improvement of the T-62, T-62M and T-62MV tanks. At the same time, Gurulev explained that he had specially come to JSC 103 BTRZ to show the Russian people how today the local industry, working in three shifts, helps to carry out the NWO.

How tanks that are over 50 years old are being transformed into modern, normal vehicles that are able to perform the tasks and withstand the challenges that are at the forefront today

he boasted.

The plant is also engaged in the restoration and improvement of armored reconnaissance and patrol vehicles. The BRDM-2 is being upgraded to the BRDM-2MS variant by installing a new engine, a thermal imaging sight and additional armor.

At the same time, it is not entirely clear to us how morally and technically obsolete T-62s, even if modernized, can be called "modern machines." Unfortunately, at one time Anatoly Serdyukov, having started the Armata project when he was the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, did not have time to send all the T-62, BRDM-2, armored trains and other “antiques” for remelting. About 900 T-62 units remained in the storage warehouses, which are sent to the special operation zone. At the same time, there are thousands of T-72 and T-80 tanks in the same warehouses, which are much better than the T-62.

Note that a new gunner's sight is being installed on T-62 tanks, presumably this is 1PN96MT-02 with a thermal imaging channel and a laser rangefinder, which was demonstrated at Army-2022 (the 1K13 night sight is hopelessly outdated). With the new sight, the gunner will be able to detect targets at a distance of up to 3000 meters, which is a definite step forward for such an ancient tank as the T-62.

However, having gained the ability to detect and hit the enemy, tankers still remain vulnerable to enemy fire. No sandbags, lattice structures and other similar "know-how" at the front will change this, because the armor protection of the T-62 itself has not undergone any significant changes. Installation on the forehead and body of the Kontakt-1 DZ cannot interfere with modern anti-tank weapons of Western and Ukrainian production. In addition, the T-62 will have to face on the battlefield not the same ancient American M-60 tanks, but M1 Abrams, German Leopard 2 and British Challenger 2.

Or maybe the main reason is the gun and the availability of shells for it in warehouses (caliber 115 mm)?

  Let's hope that at least for them, there will be no shell hunger. Shell factories (many) have long been stretched for scrap metal, and they bought gunpowder, already abroad.

      And what prevented the next rulers from setting up production? It’s like plywood, everything nods at Serdyukov, although he has been in power for 12 years, but instead of canceling the decisions of our predecessor, we played soldiers. Probably it was a difficult childhood.

Well, it is very interesting to see another anonymous person who distorts the facts here. T-62s will go to the second line and to guard the rear lines. And the writer imagines tank battles with non-existent tank armadas. In total, confirmed deliveries for a couple of tank battalions, and half of them are of the T-72 level and below, and there are an order of magnitude more of these than they plan to supply. Yes, and the vaunted Abrams with Leopards-2 burn perfectly, as practice has shown, when faced with very common modern anti-tank weapons.

Utilization of warehouses. But as self-propelled artillery, the tank is good. Where are those Abrams with "cats", this one will be in time earlier. And there will be mechanics.

Decisions such as the modernization of tanks are not made without technical and other justifications by specialists. Today, the method and tactics of using tanks are of great importance, there is a bitter experience when the latest tanks were destroyed with erroneous tactics of use, because enough anti-tank weapons have been created. The tank today is becoming part of the system of use of weapons, and as a separate independent unit, it has lost its significance. Conclusion: the main thing is how the tank is used in the overall weapon system.

  Just today on TV they showed the use of a tank. The tank left to suppress the firing points in Marinka. He fired quickly and left. At the same time, he was supported by mortars and small arms, and in the end the infantry went on the attack. Apparently it doesn't matter what type of tank it was. In any case, if he had lingered in the firing position, he would have been hit with something.

a new gunner's sight is being installed on T-62 tanks, presumably this is 1PN96MT-02 with a thermal imaging channel and a laser rangefinder, which was demonstrated at Army-2022 (the 1K13 night sight is hopelessly outdated). With a new sight, the gunner will be able to detect targets at a distance of up to 3000 meters.

The RDM-2 is upgraded to the BRDM-2MS variant by installing a new engine, a thermal imaging sight and additional armor.

Knowing a little about this technique, I can say that even with modernization, it is more suitable for the Russian Guard than for the Moscow Region ...

At the same time, it is not entirely clear to us how morally and technically obsolete T-62s, even if modernized, can be called "modern machines."

That's right!

  Newer tanks will go against newer enemy equipment, but for now, both the West and Russia are disposing of obsolete weapons there.
  In addition, when even the ancient T-34 rushes at you and shoots at you from a cannon of 85 mm caliber and a machine gun, it will not seem enough. And here is a whole T-62 and 115 mm fluff. A tank is a tank.

The general is right! The upgraded tank meets today's NWO. I often see infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers with bulletproof armor that are involved in close combat. The T-62 is much more suited for combat than they are! And what is important, shells on the T-62 cannon, like a fool's shag!

  Oh, well, you must! And where is the laudatory 71% of "modern" technology, which one marshal reported on? In the same place, where are all the other "wunderwaffles", who in one fell swoop - "the whole world is in dust", and which they hoped so much for? That is, there .... well, you understand where. Judging by what we see on the screen, regarding what is happening in Ukraine, if it weren’t for this “outdated” leftover from the Great Soviet Empire, the fact that “effective managers” together with the same brilliant commanders did not manage to melt down or hand over for cheap pouas, then it would have been completely sour ...

Of course, you have to send everything. A tank is always a tank, you can’t stop it with your bare back, and the amers are already running out of javelins. More than a year ago, I proposed to revive the production of the T-34, but they put minuses on me.

important and useful work. The more tanks the better. Tank, it's only 3 people...
30 foot soldiers in a week of intense fighting, how much will they do? How many of them will die?
And in comparison, 10 tanks per week? The more people we put in armor, the more self-propelled guns, firepower, the less people we lose in this war

The question is how to use it. If it's like a self-propelled gun, then it's quite useful.
He has much better booking.
And the gun is on point.
Or on the second line. It's not about bringing him to the front against Leopard-2.
But the Leopard-1 loses to the sixty-two in all respects.

In the T62, as in other tanks, a small angle of elevation is 15gr, which is useless in the city and mountains, but the T62 ammunition is dispersed in more than one place and it is possible to survive, unlike the T72, which is sabotage like the T64. Right now, only proryv3 reaches an acceptable level. T55 with kaz Afghan experience is the last tanks with an art gun that Gorbachev drank. Here they are with new rolled armor and must be produced from the stove. Or bmp3 to reduce the price every 5
